The first production car to feature a dual clutch transmission (DCT) was the Hillman Minx.
Introduced in 1959, the Series III Hillman Minx, available in sedan, convertible, and station wagon body styles, was equipped with this groundbreaking transmission technology. It was marketed under the name "Easidrive," offering drivers a new level of convenience and efficiency in gear shifting. This innovation marked a significant milestone in automotive engineering, paving the way for the widespread adoption of dual clutch systems in modern vehicles.
